Surprise, surprise. Madonna does the halftime show, and then Lady Gaga comes along and copies her five years later.

Kristian Bruun has quickly become a must-listen guest for me on CBB. I want to hear more embarrassing stories about his early career. (How do you break your foot four times?) He and (Emmy-winner!!) Tatiana Maslany make great guests, especially since you can tell that they're big fans of the show. Plus Tatiana's giggle…

*PFT has off-mic giggle fit*

I thought that there was noticeable dip in quality over the past few episodes, specifically with regards to Chandra's character. I'm not saying that all female characters need to be written as strong, independent women. But the things that Chandra did (first kissing Naz, and then smuggling in drugs for him, and crying…

Glatter directed the episode of Mad Men where that guy got his foot run over by a lawnmower.

That was a nice fake-out at the end, where it looked like Freddy was smoking again but instead he was making a shiv.

That's what I thought as well. I remember watching the pilot and thinking, "How does this girl live here? This is a million dollar brownstone!"

I thought that both Jill Pill and the manatee from the season premiere were abruptly dropped from the show. I kept expecting both of them to show up again, given this show's love of callbacks.

Mr. Peanutbutter's spaghetti strainers are SHINY AND CHROME!

Gareth Edwards has a real eye for scale. The Death Star, the Star Destroyers, the AT-ATs — they all look larger and more intimidating than they did in the original trilogy. Damn.

There's that old saying. "Liquor before beer, never fear, don't do heroin."

Also from that same episode: Sarah Lynn's music video for "Prickly Muffin" was filmed at the planetarium.

I really like it too. I probably posted about this before but I really enjoyed "Happy Bat Bat Mitzvah (Yes Two Bats Because She Is A Bat)" from earlier in the season.

That whiteboard was a treasure trove:

But surely tipping your hand to the cops is better than alerting your prime suspect that you're on to him, right?

I thought that Stone trying to meet and then chase after Duane was a dumb move. It was already established that Duane had a warrant for his arrest. If Stone knew Duane's location, then why didn't he tip off the cops about it, then wait for Duane to get arrested, and then interrogate him when he's in a holding cell?

John Turturro's feet should get top billing. I'm pretty sure they've gotten more screen time than anyone else on this show.

"I'm not sure if a cat woman is really the best thing for my career right now."

Good episode for minor/background jokes:

I would like to think that even she would be terrified, just like I was.
